"I adopted Modern Radio Production 12 years ago and have stayed with it mainly because the descriptions and explanations are clear even to the novice student. Unlike other audio texts, the book does not overwhelm the student with an overabundance of engineering terminology and uses real world examples."

"The text is comprehensive it is well structured. It covers both analogue and digital technologies. The writing style is clear and easy for students to comprehend. The glossary includes all key terms and the definitions are concise. The text covers all the areas I outline on my syllabus. It is well suited for an introductory course."
